Datasets

50 Interviews with Experts in Digital Scholarly Editing and Publishing (forthcoming). The dataset consists of 50 one-hour semi-structured interviews with experts and leading practitioners in digital scholarly editing and publishing. The interviews were audio recorded and then transcribed. The questions focused on the trends, approaches, challenges, and future of scholarly digital editing and publishing in order to establish the landscape for our project’s area of study.    The transcriptions are currently being reviewed and approved by the interviewees for public release.

Jisc: Machine Learning, Data and the Humanities T&F Group. During 2022 Michael Pidd has been serving on Jisc’s Machine Learning, Data and the Humanities task and finish group. The group is composed of experts in AI, Machine Learning, and data science within the domain of digital humanities and the humanities more broadly. The group’s purpose is to help Jisc identify where and how it can offer appropriate support, training and services to arts and humanities researchers in the domain of Machine Learning. The group meets regularly to fulfil specific tasks. C21 Editions is concerned with machine-driven approaches to the activity of scholarly editing. Editing is a process undertaken by scholars who have little or no expertise in machine-driven approaches, so the project’s input into identifying possible skills development in this area is useful for Jisc.

Perspectives on the Future of Digital Editions & Publishing. A presentation given at Digital Humanities 2022 (DH2022) Tokyo to an international audience of academics, digital publishers, information professionals and students with an interest in digital humanities. This is the premier event for communicating our project to our target audience.
